Nice! I had a red '87 "two". If I remember right, it averaged about 32 MPG. I put wheels from a Honda Insight on it and Tokico adjustables. Was a blast on highway on ramps.

Wow cars look great! Looking at your 430 I do miss the big boxy look of that car. And wow that MR2 is pristine!! I see new cars that don't look nearly as clean, well done! Nice SC300 as well
